Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn. | You likely have a STTM (Seed Tube Monitoring Module) for population monitoring, it cannot do section control. You likely have a Clutch Control Module for section control. These are two separate modules that both work with seed.
For our planter, I located and purchased an older Ag Leader down force monitoring module. It has actual weigh bars on some of the rows (6 out of 24). This is an ISO module and shows the force on those rows through the UT screen which we use as a guide to set our DOWN force/UP force air bags manually on our Deere planter. Our manual control box has pressure gauges on it. We use the weigh bar readings to adjust the pressure manually for the UP/DOWN air bags.
Many would argue that manually adjusting them is a poor approach compared to having the system do it but we feel it is better than what we were doing. We use UP force more than DOWN force since we are in conventional tillage with rather heavy residue managers mounted on each row unit.
I'm not aware of a method of reading the air pressure on the Ag Leader screen for the air bags. Spray modules can report liquid pressure but I have not heard of a request for air bag pressure on an Ag Leader display. Possibly you could add a pressure gauge in the cab which is connected to your air system. This would make it easier to see. I'm not certain how useful that would be.
